Sedona AZ (September 24, 2013) – The following letter to the SedonaEye.com editor was received from Nancy Baer, Sedona:

Hi Everyone,

Here’s something received from a friend in San Diego working with fire fighters to protect them from Radio Frequency/Microwave (RF/MW). 

Please read the International Association of Fire Fighters, AFL-CIO, CLC Position on the Health Effects from RF/MW and be sure to share this. 

All of our lives, and those of our loved ones and pets, are being seriously threatened by RF/MW.

Conclusion

For decades, the International Association of Fire Fighters has been directly involved in protecting and promoting the health and safety of our membership. However, we simply don’t know at this time what the possible health consequences of long-term exposure to low-intensity RF/MW radiation of the type used by the cell phone base stations and antennas will be. No one knows–the data just aren’t there.

The chairman of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), one of the leading international organizations which formulated the current RF/MW radiation exposure guidelines, has stated that the guidelines include “no consideration regarding prudent avoidance” for health effects for which evidence is less than conclusive (49)

Again, fire department facilities, where fire fighters and emergency response personnel live and work are not the proper place for a technology which could endanger their health and safety. 

Cell tower

The only reasonable and responsible course is to conduct a study of the highest scientific merit and integrity on the RF/MW radiation health effects to our membership and, in the interim, oppose the use of fire stations as base stations for towers and/or antennas for the conduction of cell phone transmissions until it is proven that such sitings are not hazardous to the health of our members.

Please remember to “opt-out.” We need to make it clear to our officials that we do not want any more of this wireless pollution.

Any APS account holder can “opt-out.” If you haven’t “opted-out” yet, please do so immediately.
